what advice would you give to your 20 year old self? i’m 20 now and it feels old -_-

I would say

go to the library, study, you know nothing about anything you think you know. 

embrace yourself sooner mentally. physical manifestation takes a while, there’s no avoiding that. but be honest with your own thoughts, feelings, persona, and just accept them. it’s time to stop criticizing and silencing yourself.  

don’t rack up a credit card, don’t do it bitch

delete social media every other month at least

you don’t have to do something that makes you uncomfortable, as in you don’t have to hang out with people who don’t treat you right, you don’t have to do drugs if you don’t want to, you don’t have to go out if you don’t vibe with that type of scene, you literally can do what makes YOU feel happy and fulfilled. and be honest about what fills up the emptiness that and what is just a distraction from an empty feeling. 

learn how to cook, actually cook. learn how to cook vegetables properly. learn how to cook rice so it’s all fluffy. learn how to fry things in oil, learn how to properly cut a vegetable.

you really don’t have to impress people

good mental health takes a lot of time, discipline, and doing things you sometimes don’t want to do. you are taking care of yourself now, you have to learn how to look out for yourself. don’t be afraid to ask for help. 

you are still really really really really young

Let’s talk about what’s happening in Australia, which is suffering its worst bushfire season in recorded history.

This almost unimaginable catastrophe has killed half a billion animals with more than 14.5 million acres burned and released over 250 million tonnes of CO2 so far.

More than 5 million hectares have been burnt, and this number continues to climb – that’s the equivalent of one fifth of the entire UK // equivalent to twice size of Belgium.

Half a billion mammals, birds and reptiles have been affected, including an estimated 30% of the entire koala population in this area.

Lives and homes have been lost. Our thoughts are with the tens of thousands of people who are affected by these fires.

We HAVE to help... we have to do something before it’s too late. Pray For Australia 🐨and

Regarding the Amazon Rainforest

I barely have followers here, but here we go:

The Amazon Rainforest has been burning for the last 16 days straight. The Brazilian government says the wildfire is caused by the winter itself, since it doesn't rain a lot there... in a rainforest. It is actually, partially true. Winter is indeed a dry season and wildfires may happen, specially close to the Cerrado (a brazilian biome similar to the african Savanna), but what they're not telling us is that:

The deforestation has increased 80% since last year

The native peoples and animals are being slaughtered for their lands (legally protected green areas)

The government is hiding and lying about scientific data, saying that environmentalists and NGOs are communists trying to destroy the nation. They are brainwashing people to think that sustainability is terrible for the economy

Our Minister of Environment is couldn't care less about the environment and is only there to support the livestock producers and give them what they want. The President and his Minister won't put a single dollar on environmental safety

The wildfires are just so huge that its black smoke and ashes reached the skies of São Paulo, a state over 2.000 kilometers away from the Amazon.

We are hostages or our own government

I could just keep going all night about how our environment is being threatened by this new government. We need every single help we can possibly can.

Please don't let this go unseen. Search for yourself, talk to people about it, make noise, be angry and be scared. Let the world know about it and demand action. This is not about Brazil, is about the planet. The Amazon Rainforest is one of the most important biomes in the world, being responsible for the climate, rains, biodiversity, carbon sequestration and life itself.
